ICAM Technologies Corporation has signed a Strategic Marketing Agreement (SMA) with Harbin Measuring & Cutting Tool Group (HMCT Group), a leading Chinese manufacturer of measuring, cutting
and CNC machine tools, to collaborate on strategic marketing initiatives as well as to promote each company's respective products within the NC manufacturing marketplace.
Additionally, under the terms of this agreement, ICAM and HMCT Group will share technical product information in order for ICAM to develop advanced NC post-processors for HMCT Group's new generation Parallel Kinematics machining center, LINKS-EXE700.
All post-processors developed for HMCT will be created using ICAM's NC post-processing development software product, CAM-POST. CAM-POST
is an advanced independent NC post-processing development, management and deployment technology supporting all major CAD/CAM/PLM systems, CNC controllers and machine tools.
"ICAM was selected by HMCT, because of their vast knowledge with developing NC post-processors for sophisticated machine tools similar to the LINKS-EXE700 Parallel Kinematics machining center," said Hualiang Wei, HMCTˇ¦s President.
"Additionally, ICAM's post-processors are compatible with the most widely used CAD/CAM systems in the industry. Thereby, allowing our
customers the flexibility to choose and to add additional CAD/CAM systems without the need to replace their existing ICAM posts."
